I installed MATLAB R2023a on Arch and it works but I cannot sign in. I have a university license. I first installed on my Macbook and everything works great. I am now trying to install on my Arch Linux desktop with the same license but it will not let me sign in. The installation is active and working except for MATLABWindow crashes, the live editor does not work and I cannot sign in. I dont know if the issue is due to using the same license on two machines or if it is a problem with it working on Linux. I suspect it is the latter after reading the documentation about missing/broken libraries. If it helps this is what I get in the console when I try to diagnose the MATLABWindow issue -
>> ! bin/glnxa64/MATLABWindow
bin/glnxa64/MATLABWindow: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libharfbuzz.so.0: undefined symbol: FT_Get_Color_Glyph_Layer
In the terminal when I execute the ./MATHLABWindow script -
$ ./MATLABWindow
./MATLABWindow: error while loading shared libraries: /home/shovel/matlab/bin/glnxa64/libprotobuf3.so.32: file too short
Also, I went ahead and installed every product available in the installer(Matlab, Simulink,5G toolbox, ect......) if that makes any difference.

I solved the problem by removing it and reinstalling with the matlab AUR package. All is well now.
